The Worst Thing about my Sister by Jacqueline Wilson

Jacqueline Wilson, The Worst Thing About My Sister

This book is for people who don't like or understand their sisters. The Worst Thing about my Sister is a great book and I was so into it that I read it at night. You see, sisters Manty (Martine) and Melissa are very different and they don't like it. Melissa is girlie and Manty is a tomboy. Can they learn to be friends or be arch-enemies? Find out by reading the book.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Colour Edn) (Dahl Picture Book)

I liked Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, like when Veruca Salt went to get a little squirrel! Also when Charlie and his Grandad went up in a lift really fast and it was really eye catching!

The Grunts in a Jam by Philip Adargh

Philip Ardagh, The Grunts in a Jam

I found this book very good because it was about a family that got put in jail for a silly reason. Mrs. Grunt's mother, the gloomy Ma Lunge, enters a jam and jellies competition – what could possibly go wrong? Read the book to find more!

The Twits by Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl, The Twits

The Twits is good because it is funny and has some good pranks. It is about Mrs and Mr Twit pulling pranks on each other. They have a family of circus monkeys who are fed up of always staying upside down. There are also birds who are fed up of being shot by the Twits so they work together to get rid of the Twits once and for all.

I would rate this book 100 out of 100.

Jeremy Strong, Romans on the Rampage
